Stunning Master Bathrooms

A master bath is a place of peace and solitude, made even richer with luxurious décor to match. Be it a cascading backsplash of marble, glittering custom tile mosaics, or classic clean white porcelain, these spaces are secluded retreats from the rest of the world. Read on for some of our most stunning master baths.

“European Gray” from Benjamin Moore wraps this master bath in sophisticated serenity. The ambience is given a creative edge with asymmetrical walls and a sky-high ceiling. A clean white floor from Calcutta Mosaic, freestanding tub, and antique chair upholstered in creamy white fabric from Nancy Corzine keep the space bright and airy.

A skirted tub from Sunrise Specialty is outfitted with Waterworks’ crystal-handled “Boulevard” faucet for a touch of glam. Vintage fashion prints line the top of the marble wall, above which mirrored panels help to visually expand the space.

This master bath pairs contemporary simplicity with colorful artwork for a fresh look. Behind the freestanding tub, a wall of small patterned tiles serves as eyecatching art. An antique chair upholstered in lively fabrics and monogrammed with an elaborate “W” serves as a focal point.

An Asian-inspired Brunschwig & Fils wallpaper and a vintage chandelier set the tone in this master bath. The original tub was converted into a spa-like daybed upholstered in terrycloth. A subdued palette of greens, browns, and pinks brings in color without overwhelming the patterns of the wallpaper and daybed pillows.

This bath from the 2010 Healthy Home project is made from sustainable, allergen-free materials that are healthy for both people and the environment. A bathtub from Kohler is framed by quartz surfacing from Cambria. Niches in the surrounding walls provide space for soaps and salts; seagrass shades can be pulled down for privacy. Faucets, toilets, and other Kohler plumbing fixtures are Water Sense-certified to conserve water usage.

A deep, luxurious tub from BainUltra is tucked into a niche in this master bath. Shelving around the rub ensures that there’s a good book close at hand during a long soak. Tiles from Ann Sacks create a mosaic “rug” on the floor.

The vanity stretches along the far wall with built-in twin sinks, a “Calcutta Carrara” marble countertop, a plush bench, and a dressing table. Two wide mirrors reflect the natural light, which spills in from the oversize round window.

Nestled within a niche, this marble-top bathroom vanity includes an antique Moroccan veil repurposed as a skirt-both whimsical and exotic. The sconces are from Marrakech, never intended to be lights, just decorative objects. But once installed over a bulb, the pierced metal objects transform into glamorous fixtures. See the next slide for another detail from the same bath.

Sheathed in mosaic tiles, this open arched shower features fiber-optic lighting that twinkles overhead like a starry sky. A matched pair of towel warmers keeps sumptuous bath towels fresh, dry, and ready to snuggle.

Multiple windows and views of the town give this master bath a tree-house ambiance. Still, bathers can maintain their privacy due to the large windows being covered in dramatically patterned Roman shades. Walls were upholstered in the same fretwork fabric as the shades, creating an enveloping sense of comfort.

Tucked into an alcove, the master bath's luxe tub is surrounded by Carrara marble. The same strongly figured stone is used to frame the nearby shower. Opposite the shower, a marble-topped vanity is crafted from hand-milled mahogany in order to look more like fine furniture than a commonplace bath fixture. Both the sink and tub are from Lefroy Brooks.

The centerpiece of this master bath retreat is a hand-hammered copper tub designed by artisan Robert Kuo, backed by a custom-designed glass-tile mural designed by tilemaker and artist Erin Adams. The mural, inspired by a waterfall design on an antique Japanese screen, was installed in three panels reminiscent of a folding screen. Adams also designed the woven-pattern tiles installed below the mural-creating a grass-cloth-like weave but on a larger scale.

Rescued in Provence, then shipped to the U.S. for this project, an antique leaded-glass window offers a centuries-old backdrop to a contemporary tub. Ivory sheers add delicate beauty without obscuring the breathtaking view. An antique crystal chandelier hangs above marble-tile floors.

A his-and-her bathroom with a dramatic neutral palette boasts an extra-high freestanding two-person tub -- Michael S Smith for Kallista - beneath a black Murano glass chandelier. To serve as a backdrop for the tub, a stunning chinoiserie-style mural of art glass and mirrored tiles was commissioned from artist Erin Adams. The mural features a pomegranate tree with opalescent art-glass tiles that suggest mother-of-pearl inlay. A centrally-located cherry "spa bar" is outfitted with a sink and two warming drawers for towels. Two sets of louvered doors mask storage spaces outfitted for his and her customized needs.

Green fleur-de-lis motif wallpaper from Brunschwig & Fils (on both walls and ceiling) is tempered by classic white woodwork and black accents in this master bath. A calm respite is offered by white beadboard wainscoting and a marble-top console sink with brass legs. The room's quirky footprint is accentuated by a black-and-white harlequin-pattern tile border.
